Mr.. jim Mason thinks that the plain,
ordinary, everyday editor has not mind
enough to grasp the transcendent
thoughts and principles uttered by his
paper-that he cannot realize the pur,

The immense amount Of labor that en-
ters into numbering operations and the
great expense involved in just the simple
act of floating logs down river is aston
ishing to the city chap who gets a glimpse
Of riverdrlving. The amount of coaxng
spruce logs require, even on the broad
kennebec, is surprising to the inexperi-
eneed. As an instance of this we cite the
TACT That Messrs.. Weston 4 Brainard who
use in their mills at Skowhegan, between
and millions of logs annually, are to
the expense of about one dollar per
thousand TO boom, sort and float their
logs from their own boom to their mills.
They are obliged to look over one hun
dred millions of logs and push them along
to get out their five millions and have to
employ 20 men to do this work at a large
expense. The proprietors of mills at
Somerset Mills and at Fairfield have to 90
through the same process or let their
logs go past their mills.

WHAT THE FENCES CosT.-The cost Of
all fences in the United States amounts to
81 IA $40 1881, or nearly equal to the in
terest-bearing debt, and about the same
as the estimated value of all farm ami
mails, so that for every dollar invested in
livestock another dollar is required for
constructing protection against the raw
ages upon crops. The annual repairs,
together with interest on the amount in
vested in the existing fences, amounted
to nearly $500, 900 900, and the amount OF
wood needed must have been not far
from 5000, 900 900 feet.
